1Τότε εἶπεν κύριος πρός με Βάδισον καὶ κτῆσαι βῖκον πεπλασμένον ὀστράκινον καὶ ἄξεις ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἱερέων Then said the Lord to me Go and get an earthen bottle the work of the potter and thou shalt bring [some] of the elders of the people and of the priests;The broken flask. Jr.19.1-15
2καὶ ἐξελεύσῃ εἰς τὸ πολυάνδριον υἱῶν τῶν τέκνων αὐτῶν, ὅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν προθύρων πύλης τῆς χαρσιθ, καὶ ἀνάγνωθι ἐκεῖ πάντας τοὺς λόγους, οὓς ἂν λαλήσω πρὸς σέ, and thou shalt go forth to the burial-place of the sons of their children which is at the entrance of the gate of Charsith; and do thou read there all these words which I shall speak to thee: 
3καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς Ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον κυρίου, βασιλεῖς Ιουδα καὶ ἄνδρες Ιουδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις Τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον κακὰ ὥστε παντὸς ἀκούοντος αὐτὰ ἠχήσει ἀμφότερα τὰ ὦτα αὐτοῦ and thou shalt say to them Hear ye the word of the Lord ye kings of Juda and men of Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem 
4ἀνθ' ὧν ἐγκατέλιπόν με καὶ ἀπηλλοτρίωσαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον καὶ ἐθυμίασαν ἐν αὐτῷ θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, οἷς οὐκ ᾔδεισαν αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς Ιουδα ἔπλησαν τὸν τόπον τοῦτον αἱμάτων ἀθῴων Because they forsook me and profaned this place and burnt incense in it to strange gods which they and their fathers knew not; and the kings of Juda have filled this place with innocent blood 
5καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν ὑψηλὰ τῇ Βααλ τοῦ κατακαίειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐν πυρί, ἃ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην οὐδὲ ἐλάλησα οὐδὲ διενοήθην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου. and built high places for Baal to burn their children in the fire which things I commanded not neither did I design [them] in my heart: 
6διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται, λέγει κύριος, καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ἔτι Διάπτωσις καὶ Πολυάνδριον υἱοῦ Εννομ, ἀλλ' ἢ Πολυάνδριον τῆς σφαγῆς. Therefore behold the days come saith the Lord when this place shall no more be called 
7καὶ σφάξω τὴν βουλὴν Ιουδα καὶ τὴν βουλὴν Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ καταβαλῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν μαχαίρᾳ ἐναντίον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν χερσὶν τῶν ζητούντων τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ δώσω τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν εἰς βρῶσιν τοῖς πετεινοῖς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοῖς θηρίοις τῆς γῆς. And I will destroy the counsel of Juda and the counsel of Jerusalem in this place; and I will cast them down with the sword before their enemies and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the 
8καὶ τάξω τὴν πόλιν ταύτην εἰς ἀφανισμὸν καὶ εἰς συριγμόν· πᾶς ὁ παραπορευόμενος ἐπ' αὐτῆς σκυθρωπάσει καὶ συριεῖ ὑπὲρ πάσης τῆς πληγῆς αὐτῆς. And I will bring this city to desolation and [make it] a hissing; every one that passes by it shall scowl and hiss because of all her plague. 
9καὶ ἔδονται τὰς σάρκας τῶν υἱῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς σάρκας τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτῶν, καὶ ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἔδονται ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ καὶ ἐν τῇ πολιορκίᾳ, ᾗ πολιορκήσουσιν αὐτοὺς οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν. And they shall eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his neighbour in the blockade and in the siege wherewith their enemies shall besiege them. 
10καὶ συντρίψεις τὸν βῖκον κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ἐκπορευομένων μετὰ σοῦ And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that go forth with thee 
11καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει κύριος Οὕτως συντρίψω τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καθὼς συντρίβεται ἄγγος ὀστράκινον, ὃ οὐ δυνήσεται ἰαθῆναι ἔτι. and thou shalt say Thus saith the Lord Thus will I break in pieces this people and this city even as an earthen vessel is broken in pieces which cannot be mended again. 
12οὕτως ποιήσω, λέγει κύριος, τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ τοῦ δοθῆναι τὴν πόλιν ταύτην ὡς τὴν διαπίπτουσαν. Thus will I do saith the Lord to this place and to the inhabitants of it that this city may be given up 
13καὶ οἱ οἶκοι Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οἱ οἶκοι βασιλέων Ιουδα ἔσονται καθὼς ὁ τόπος ὁ διαπίπτων τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν ἐν πάσαις ταῖς οἰκίαις, ἐν αἷς ἐθυμίασαν ἐπὶ τῶν δωμάτων αὐτῶν πάσῃ τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔσπεισαν σπονδὰς θεοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις. - And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Juda shall be as a ruinous place because of their uncleannesses in all the houses wherein they burnt incense upon their roofs to all the host of heaven and poured drink-offerings to strange gods. 
14καὶ ἦλθεν Ιερεμιας ἀπὸ τῆς διαπτώσεως, οὗ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν κύριος ἐκεῖ τοῦ προφητεῦσαι, καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ οἴκου κυρίου καὶ εἶπε πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν And Jeremias came from [the place] of the Fall whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house: and said to all the people Thus saith the Lord; 
15Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς ἅπαντα τὰ κακά, ἃ ἐλάλησα ἐπ' αὐτήν, ὅτι ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ εἰσακούειν τῶν λόγων μου. Behold I bring upon this city and upon all the cities belonging to it and upon the villages of it all the evils which I have spoken against it because they have hardened their neck

Notes:The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text.)
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica 1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.

Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
